BINDING BOOKS.

HILECIFICATION forming part-of Letters Patent No. 312,606, dated February 24, 1885.

Application filed March 18, 1884. (No mrdcl.) Patented in Belgium July 25, 1883, No.l}2,1l6; in England Jny 3l, 1883, No. 3,74, i and in France August 7, 1883, No. 156,911.

To all whom, il may concern:

Be it known that we, AUGUsT BEEHMER, a subject of Germany, residing in Leipsic, Germany, and GAVIN BROWN, a subject of Great Britain, residing in Glasgow, Scotland, Great Britain, have invented certain Improvements in Binding Books, of which the following is a specification, and for which Letters Patent have been granted to usby the governments of Belgium on July 25, 1883, No. 62,126 of France on August 7, 1883, No. 156,911, and of Great Britain on July 31, 1883, No. 3,7418.

The binding of books by means of a machine for which we have filed au application for Letters Patent in the United States on July 18, 1883, Serial No. 101,201, and of which the following formed originally a part, is

vproduced either by means of shuttle-threads runningfrom section to section of the book or by means of one or more shuttle-threads with needle-threads passing around the shuttlc-thread, either in a straight line, or the needle-threads may run in a zigzag way over the back ot' the book, in order to obtain a stronger hold upon the several sectionsand upon the backing material. In some of these arrangements the ends of the sections are cut by an arrangement in the machine, 'so that the shuttle-threads passing from one section to the other section will be brought far enough from the edge to allow of `the necessary trimming or cutting of the same when fastened to their cover in book form.

This invention consists-inabook sewed with three continuous threads so that the thread from the first section passes into thelfourth section, the one from the second into the fifth, the one from the third into the sixth, and so on, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings,FigureIrep resents a perspective view of a book sewed on crash or open cloth with three shuttle threads and two needlethreads, the latter being shifted sidewise in a zigzag manner.

Fig. II represents a similar view of a book sewed without backing material with three shuttle-threads and three needle-threads, the latter not being zigzag.Vv Fig. III represents `an end view 4of Fig. I, showing the course which the shuttle-threads follow while running from section to section of the book; and Fig. IV represents an end View of Fig. II, showing the course of the needle-threads, which pass around the shuttle-th reads.

Inall of said tgures A designates the shut tile-threads, B the needle-threads, and C the sections of the book.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

' A book sewed with three continuous threads so that the thread from the first section passes into the fourth section, the one from the second into the ifth, the one from thethird into the sixth, and so on, substantially as set forth.
